Oh my.. these muffins are perfection! On the inside, they're light and fluffy, and the tops of them are a bit crunchy. They have just the right amount of sweetness. My mom and sister couldn't even think of words to describe how wonderful these muffins are, they just went "Mmmmmmnom!" I used 1 c. of whole wheat flour and 1/2 c. all purpose, so I added an extra 1/4 tsp. of baking soda. I got ten big muffins. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful!! I made this recipe in an 8x8 cake pan, because my husband doesn't care for muffins.
It turned out beautifully and the time was the same. I think next time I will add a little orange zest-you know how we Zaars love to tweak everything! Carole in Orlando

mmm... Great Christmas Eve-morning breakfast. I served them with boiled eggs and orange slices. My family realy liked them. I didn't have applesauce or molasses so I used a pealed and chopped apple and dark Karo syrup. But I can't wait to try them with molasses which is much more nutritional. Thanks for sharing! Liz

These were really good muffins, thank you very much Ocean! I made them in to jumbo muffins last night, just a personal preference, and had the first one this morning on my way to work. A wonderful start to the day!

This is a winner in my house! Just be careful not to over bake.. they dry out fast! Can't count how many batches I've already made! Thanks!

I thought these were okay. Flavor was not as bold as I had hoped, and the consistency was a little off for me. I also had a difficult time removing the muffin from the wrapper. I also added raisins and toasted walnuts.

I loved these muffins, the spices and the amount of sugar in them are just right. I replaced 1/2 of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour and use allspice instead of clove because that is what I have. I did not sprinkle them with sugar before baking but even without the sugar, a crust was formed on the muffin, which gives it a lovely texture.

The first time I made I multiplied by 6, and took a shot in the dark and hoped the kids like them. I am a school cook and I made these for the last day before Christmas Break and they were a hit. The only change made is I didn't have enough molasses, but they still tasted great.

These were a lovely change on Xmas morning instead of our traditional pancakes and bacon. I smeared a bit of icing across the top and a bit of colored sugar to appeal to the kids. I made a double batch and there are two left....for me tomorrow morning with my tea. Thanks for a new addition to my cookbook.

Very good but a little dry. I think I may add more applesauce next time.

I was looking for a quick muffin recipe for a very cold and snowy South Dakota Sunday morning. These made the house smell great and tasted really good too. They had a mild gingerbread flavor and a nice texture. Don't be stingy with the sugar on top. I would add more next time.

Yummy! Made just as directed and tasted delish right out of the oven. I might add just a tad more sugar enxt time, as i like my muffins a little sweeter. Thanks for a keeper!

I added a tiny bit more molasses and applesauce to remove the oil. These were delicious! Next time i will try half whole wheat! Mmmm! Delicious when the weather gets chilly and the leaves change colour.

I HATE most recipes that use applesauce, mostly because I find that the end product ends up tasting like nothing else but. I also find the texture to be almost "tuff" despite being careful not to overmix. In this case though, I was very amazed at how nicely these little gems turned out! I decided to use the blend of spices from my fave gingerbread cookie recipe as everyone's got a different idea of what ginger bread should taste like, (1.5 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger and .5 tsp alspice) and found it a winning combination. I may add slightly more molasses next time, but we'll see. Thanks for a yummy and low fat, guilt free muffin!

These were quite good. I even tripled the recipe for a pot luck. The only change I would make would be to use slightly less cloves next time & maybe a wee bit more ginger.

I added 1/2 cup of raisins and replaced one tbsp of molasses with sugar and applesauce because I didn't want the molasses taste to be too strong. I also replaced 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour. All in all a good recipe for a holiday breakfast.
